@DavidCovucci I mean, yes? Because that's how alphabetical order works? This is the table at my job, I could have used numbers, too. I could have started with Z and always sorted Z to A, calling them grades implies there's a pass/fail line when there isn't
Okay, this WCWS is officially off to a rocking start.
For context, Delta Dawn has been Rhonda Revelle's song for a very long time. And on Facetime here is Tanya Tucker, who made the song a Top 10 hit in 1972 and whose appearance leaves Revelle in awe. https://t.co/totOiYCzGF
Yes. This is an essential point, the mangling of which has badly distorted our collective cultural understanding, and it's great to see it in the New York Times.
Sure, you can set the bar super high. And in fact you should probably set it at a place where any marginal differences over that bar are negligible. Would you be noticeably happier with the 1st place person rather than the 18th place? Probably not, actually!
I've believed this for a long time. The job of a college, or a hiring committee, or even a person looking for their future spouse, is not to find the absolute best. It's to set a bar of acceptability and find the available ones who meet that bar.
My theory is that meritocracy hits a point of diminishing returns.
If you have a group of 100 people, and you pick the smartest one, that person will most likely be both very smart and basically normal.
If you have a group of 100,000,000 people and try to pick the smartest one
Is it just me or is the batter's front hand on top no matter what, which is impossible from either way? On the visible hand of the logo, the thumb is on the front and the fingers are toward the back, so either it's the front hand or the back hand is turned like halfway around
I think I've figured it out
While the LH example mostly fits the shape, the part that makes me think it's NOT a lefty, is the silhouette of the hand(s).
I feel like if it were a lefty, you'd see both hands, but in the logo, it looks like his shoulder is blocking his bottom hand
Wild story: A man in Kentucky laughed so hard at a botched Younghoe Koo FG last season that it triggered a seizure, sending him to the hospital, where doctors discovered a tennis-ball-sized brain tumor.
The tumor was removed and was deemed not cancerous. The man believes that missed kick saved his life.

1. If used for evaporative cooling, you want the water to not have much stuff in it because the stuff doesnโt evaporate and eventually you have a concentrated soup you have to get rid of.
2. If closed-loop cooling (new data centers are mostly closed loop now) it doesnโt matter that much because not that much water is being removed from water systems.
3. In some circumstances we can and do, but you need to get the gray water to the right place which sometimes isnโt worth it.
4. Overall, I think we should be less concerned about absolute gallons of water โusedโ than about capacity additions to municipal water systems and who pays for them, which is an equal worry with drinkable or gray water!
Extremely funny hearing the wave of delayed reactions from my nextdoor neighbors to the Oweh shot. My stream is apparently a solid 15 seconds ahead of theirs
To be clear this is not about her at Gotham, this is about her rolling into like Louisville or KC in August and it's 90 degrees and Chesky has the whistle
"Schools should teach thinking, not memorizing!" ignores the very basic fact that good thinking requires good recall. You can't build connections between concepts if you don't understand them. You can't understand concepts without a collection of facts that you have stored.
